USED ONCE. In a rare size 42

After pressure from the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT), Rick Owens has removed mink/beaver bags from sale. “Over the past decade we reduced and eventually ceased the production of fur. We will not engage in fur production in the future”.

About the season:
Rick Owens’s Autumn Winter 2024 collection, Porterville, marked a return to his oppressed roots. Named after his small Californian hometown, the show served as both confrontation and reflection. Owens has described Porterville as a place burdened by intolerance, and by reclaiming its name, he turned that history into creative resistance. Presented within his Paris home, the show was stripped of spectacle and rich with intimacy, as models drifted through the Palais Bourbon residence like fragments of memory.

The silhouettes in Porterville expanded on Owens’s language of distortion and volume. Inflated rubber boots made in collaboration with Straytukay reshaped the lower body into sculptural masses, while enveloping jackets, capes, and layered wraps elongated the figure beyond familiar proportions. Techniques like draping and stacking returned with new extremity, producing shapes that felt protective yet alien. The palette softened from his usual monochromes into custard, greygreen, and dusty rose, suggesting a quiet shift toward vulnerability.
